No authentic trip to Sicily is complete without tasting its rich culinary traditions, and extra virgin olive oil sits at the very heart of them. Across both of our holiday properties—from the mountain scenery of Caltavuturo to the sun-soaked coast of Cefalù—we offer our guests an exclusive tasting experience designed to have a dive into the island’s vibrant food culture.

We craft our own extra virgin olive oil, carefully overseeing harvest and pressing to bring out the distinct character of each cultivar and terroir. During this guided tasting, you will compare three signature oils from our harvest:

• Olio di Monte Riparato: Bold and herbaceous with a distinct mineral edge, capturing the fresh air and high altitude of the Madonie mountains.
• Capo Plaja: Smooth and well-balanced, shaped by the gentle coastal breezes near Cefalù.
• Vanella della Corte: Elegant and versatile, featuring bright fruity aromas and a gently peppery finish—perfect for traditional Sicilian dishes.

The session includes an introduction to professional olive oil tasting techniques, culinary pairing tips, and a relaxed gathering centered around fresh homemade bread and regional delicacies. It is more than just an activity—it is a chance to connect deeply with the roots of our land.
